pographer. Everything looks fiat
tering to the farmers eye. The ia
vorab.e weather during this month
has furnished ample time for seed
ing lands to oats and clover. Some
corn planted and gardens abreast
with the season. Wheat looks
well where the land is good, and
pastures are farther advanced than
we ever saw them before at this
date. AS king cotton is not one
term plant, it will he in the field
again this year and will receive the
seaport OF some of our best farmers.
1t seems strange to me that intelli-
gent men will persist in butchery
such stock region as Giles county
should be with cotton.
Miss Elsie Cross has been con-
fined to her room for several days
and her school suspended until she
is able to take charge of it again.
Miss Matte Simpson has been
in very bad health for some time.
MISS Eta Grubbs is visiting rel
atives in Nashville.
DR.. j. B. Marshall of Warsaw,
Ala, stopped over here last week to
see relatives aud friends. He had
been to Chattanooga where he in
vested considerably in real estate.
The doctor bought nice lot in
Nashville five or six years ago of
ID S. Simmons for 5000 and sold it
on this trip for the meat sum of
$4,000.
Dr.. c. w. Dicky returned from
the Vanderbilt a few days since,
and Is now full dedged doctor.
He has not decided yet where he
will locate.
Mr. H. o. Sellers sold to gen
tleman in West Tennessee his fine
young CIydesdale horse. The price
was $500.
Messrs. Sellers and Jim Sim
mons, jr., have bought of j. W.
Street, Mulberry, Lincoln CO., some
of the finest Poland China hogs
that we have ever seen.
Willie Simmons started for Biz
mingham the 81 inst. Willie is a
strictly fine boys and a natural se-
MUS and We predict for him a pros
porous future.
Mr. Taylor Garter who bong bit
land here some time ago, is
now ready for moving, having fin
ished his house and barn. We ex-
tend a welcome for all such men
that wish TO buy and settle here.
Prof Underwood commences a
writing school the 2lst at the Max
well school house.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we are for an
other railroad through Giles coun-
ty. OF course we would like Tor it
to run by our doors, but we wont
kick if it don't. So it comes to
Pulaski We are satisfied. We want
another road for different reasons.
The first is, we've been imposed up
on by the L. d N. long enough; sec
ondly, the country along the line
proposed needs the road very
badly; thirdly, we can pay for the
road in 5 or & years in savings Oh
freight; fourthly, the money ex-
pended would not be lost to Giles
as three-fourihs of it wonld be
paid for Giles county labor and pro
visions; filthy, it would add 10 the
market value OF our lands from 81
to $40 per acre and Pulaski would
bloom and blossom when she en-
tered upon the new era of pros
perity, the whistle of machine
shops aud factories would be heard
at no distant day. Pulaski would
be the best market in the land for
all of our produce, as it is nearest
to her sister towns and cities, while
upon the other hand if we let this
opportunity pass, we car never hope
for better chance, and instead of
our county and town being built up,
the progressive men will seek in
vestment somewhere else where the
people have some public enterprise.
II we reject this proposed road we
shut out capitalist from investing
here and we push our own moneyed
men to other fields for investments.
We want the road, let the cost be
what it will, and let it come in any
shape the people think best. We
want to see three -fourths Of the vot
ers vote for the railroad and fol
prohibition and take The CITIZEN
